Don't let the big height gain numbers put you off! High Rigg is a Plateau, so you have to get up there one way or another! The conclusion to the epic wcoc night series wasn't supposed to be this - but it is now! Get yourself booked on for a delightfull tour of the south end of High Rigg. This week has everything, ups, downs, lefts, rights and maybe even a sneaky back and forth. Taking you to parts of the landscape you (nor the planners until recently) knew we there, nor you knew you wanted to go to, this week has everything an aspiring orienteer could hope for in a course. Except a water slide. The farmer said no to that one. He's on the fence about the ski lift mind. See you there!

New to Night Orienteering?
You need to bring a decent head torch (and maybe a spare) and make sure to dress appropriately for the weather.
Younger and/or inexperienced orienteers should be accompanied.
